I assume it is charged from its USB port. Am I right? Instead of using the provided charger, a standard 5V 1A USB charger (let's say from a tablet), or an external battery be OK to charge it?

Yes, the USB port is the ONLY way to charge it. Any external source 5V (the 1A determines the speed of charge, could be less but will take more time) is ok as long as the connector be a Mini-B USB connector.

Yes! It is charged through a mini USB port on the side of the charger. As long as you can get a mini USB cable, you are good to go. My challenge is that the mini USB on the side is a bit loose and takes a bit of a wiggle to get the device charged.

You can only charge it via a USB cord. I guess if you had a charger you can attach to USB cords, and the voltage is right, that should work, but I've not tried it. i always charge it through a computer (which, I agree, isn't always convenient).

You have to charge it via USB in camera , or get a third party or don't external charger. When charging the camera is not operable, so I highly recommend either an extra battery, or an external charger as the battery life is average at best.

It does not have to be charged. Simply plug it into the tablet and, voila, it works just fine.

Dont worry about the charger. It charges with a standard micro-USB cable, so you can charge it from anything such as a laptop or any other charger that has a USB plug.

I charge it by flipping out the USB plug and plugging it into the side of my laptop, or into your usb port in your computer. Hope this helps:)

This uses standard 110 volt outlet, but it's actually a USB cord so you may be able to plug it in a USB outlet to charge it.

You can charge it using any charger that has a micro-USB plug, such as used by many mobile phones. This means it can also be charged via a computer's USB port and cable.

It is powered by an internal battery. It is charged by a charger that comes with it. The charger plugs into a wall outlet, it is not a usb charger.

It will charge via USB. If you have something to plug the USB cable into (the other end is micro-USB, which plugs into the device) then you are set.

I charge it by plugging it into an outlet but, I'm sure you can charge it by computer too. Hope that helps

Hi Jack,I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It is charged through USB only, which is a problem for her because she wanted to use it from her iPad. It works OK, but if the battery gets low she can't recharge it without USB.

Mine recharges from the USB port. If is standard USB no problem. If you have an AC to USB converter, you're fine.

It comes with a cord allowing you to charge it via USB port. Could be in the computer or with a USB to wall adapter.

It comes with a micro USB to standard USB cable. Charges from a powered USB cube or computer.

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.
